several years ago when joe lieberman was nominated to be vice president of the united states during the election, that was the first jewish american on a national presidential ticket. but it was also a capstone of many things that happened before hand in terms of how american jews have been accepted into american society. when stephen breyer, several years before that, was nominated to the supreme court of the united states, nobody commented on the fact that there were going to be two justices on the supreme court. nobody said, oh, there are going to be two jewish people on the court. by the time breyer was nominated, it was no big deal, because that was the cap stone on a trend. here, too, unfortunately, we are experiencing a much more visible but a cap stone on a trend that has been building quietly in washington, quietly in political circles on capitol hill and is now coming more -- now become more visible to the american public at large. i suppose there is a blessing in that. we should try to find that. king solomon also famously wrote the passages telling us that for everything the
